I don't tell people what to post....move on means the trade is done...get over it...which I'll say again. I was the person told to shut up about my opinion by the person you're referencing who also called me a Q'Anon type fan...yeah....details. Fuck all that....I talk about the topic...others choose to talk about me....common problem around here. People are free to feel however they want...just understand not everyone agrees and we have no problem.

Those are straight up lies. You called me a name. I said your logic was similar to a qanon conspiracy. Those two things are not the same.

I never told you to shut up. I said the following.

Or you could stop responding to everyone telling people to move on.

That is a big difference from telling you to shut up. And it was in reference to you telling everyone to move on.

when Powell was signed i don't remember a single negative comment. Most everyone thought it meant cj was going out aNd was ecstatic overall of the contract for the starting sg position i think most of us thought he would take over.

Bumped for your viewing pleasure.
 
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way
I'd take back that trade that hurt us and Norm'd stay
Even if Ant becomes a star, doesn't mean you give assets away
I don't love CJ, I mean meJ, like I did back in the day
Make that trade...
If I could turn back time

go to the start of the conversation but if you want to be another forum ref...don't bother.....I was very clear about how people are free to their opinions and I'm not selling them mine as well as grieving over it is a waste of time ...it's done.but laugh all you want...this isnt an issue between you and I so.......what's your point?

No point. I just find it entertaining watching you make excuses instead of just saying, yeah i could have worded that better to make it clearer.
Its entertainment! :)

Don't know if this was posted yet: Frank isn't going to come out and say "Wow we really killed it on this trade" but
Andrew Greif: Lawrence Frank said he “never” thought it was realistic to get a player like Norm Powell, under a long-term contract of his skillset. “He’s such a prolific catch and shoot player.”

Notice that at least one GM thought it was advantageous to have a good player on a "long-term contract"; he did not view this as lessening the value of the player, but rather as enhancing the value; presumably because it was a reasonable contract and the salary cap had just gone up again.

What does he know--he hasn't been fired from a front-office position and settled for becoming an NBA analyst.

This week is not gonna be good for either my mental or cardiovascular health.

That IS NOT a fact it IS your opinion..
Here's mine: From what I saw last night, Justice Winslow is better than either RoCo or Powell.
And that isn't all that hard to do.

How about we all be a little more respectful of everyone else's opinions even if we don't agree with them.

This place would be bland and boring if we all agreed with each other about everything.

(Anyone who disagrees with this post will be dealt with!)

Insult the post. Not the poster.

This post sucks. Typical of a dog.

foe me, the best thing about that post is plugging it in as lyrics to Jim Croce's 'If I Could Put Time in a Bottle'

it was a bit of an awkward fit compared to Cher, but not as bad a fit as Dame & CJ, or Cronin's trade & logic

Exactly. Incompetent front office has been kind of a theme in Portland for awhile.

We agree here. So is it harder to find a top 75 all-NBA player in his prime (even if it's the backside) or a competent person to run the front office?

Top 75 is just so unfair, if the NBA would make it the Top 3000 we could have both Dame and CJ on the list.

If someone writes something stupid, they deserve to be mocked.

There are some blazer fans that are flat out stupid. I mean, it shouldn’t be surprising because driving around town I see some mouth breathing morons who have trouble using a turn signal and I’m sure some of those people are blazer fans.

That should be an indication of how bad your post was.
Click to expand...
Should be, but wasn't.
It actually was more of a comment on his commenting style than anything else.
Same with the other dude who starts each reply with "that was the worst post ever" etc; etc;...
Sorry, I may not be an active member here, but I've read this place long enough to not be insulted or swayed by pretty much anything
most of you opine with.
For instance, earlier today, I was called a "homer', and as I've pointed out before I am not a Blazer fan, I am a NBA fan.. Maybe that allows me to see things clearer? who knows, but it definitely allows me to share my explosive comments in a less emotional fashion.

Honest non-confrontational question.

If you are an NBA fan, why and where did you come across our little Blazer fandom home?

Once upon a time, before you even joined, I was a fairly active participant in your quaint neighborhood.
I have seen almost every Blazer game since the beginning, 1970...And in my younger days, before social media and NBAtv, I turned down career opportunities because I didn't want to leave my beloved Portland Trail Blazers, so please, I know about fandom.
But as I've gotten older, I've somewhat soured on this era...The Olshey/Lillard stuff, which, believe it or not, I am probably 100% in agreement with you and most all.
But here's the thing, and I can't get into it too much...HCP is not the only person in this forum who is behind the scenes, seeing/hearing things...I work closely with the visiting teams and over time, call it "Stockholm Syndrome" or whatever, but I struggle to 100% actively "root" for just the Blazers..
I still want them to do good, being my hometown and all, but I don't bleed red and black.
Acceptable answer, I hope.
 
SlyPokerCat said:
I've been with this group for decades. At least some of them. Since Fanhome. I go back further than this account suggests.

Thanks for the answer. Didn't mean to be mean when I called you homer, my friend. I just whole heartedly disagreed with your post. But, that's ok.
Click to expand...
That is OK, indeed.
FWIW, my favorite player got traded today..Caris Lavert...
Gonna have to have a chat with Joe about that one!!
Peace.

One persons trash may be a other person’s treasure.

What ones person finds stupid, another person may find enlightening or insightful, or an angle they had yet too see.
Just sayin. :)

Everyone after the dog. Fight like hell. The forum has been stolen.
